I was the manager at the previous Henrico County library location, and many people did not want us to move. When they see the new Libbie Mill Library, they come to me and say, “I totally get it.” When people walked in when we first opened, their eyes widened and they just couldn’t believe that this place, this special beautiful place, was for them.
